Still alive

So depressed lately. Been taking a vacation from pretty much everything. Also, feverishly trying to troll up a job on Craigslist, to no avail - the very few successful finds lose me once it's apparent that I have phone phobia. What a motherfucker this world of ours is. Finding a way to get income is so easy in MMOGs ( Read more... )

Did you talk to an advisor about going back to college in the fall?

Also, what exactly does your first blogspot message mean? I can’t read Occitan.

I’ve seen the first episode of Bakemonogatari. Does the show become drastically different after the first episode?

They say there's two basic types of otaku - the ones who like a good storyline, and the ones who like a good character design. Bakemonogatari has both, and that's pretty damned amazing. The series is just so rich will allegory, it's staggering. To put it quite simply, Bakemonogatari is a postmodern, abstract representation of a youth romance anime.

Bah, I figured it was Latin. For some reason Google Translate said it was Occitan.

I guess I’ll give Bakemonogatari another shot then. I prefer the fucked up bizarreness of Soul Taker to Bakemonogatari (so far). But I liked Always my Santa so my taste in anime is questionable. Best (trashy) anime of the last decade?

Actually, I thought the girl’s apparent weightlessness could have represented that she simply does not exist: she is the main character’s fantasy. But I was proved wrong about ten minutes into the first episode.
